Investment thesis
Powerhouse Ventures focuses on backing ambitious, early-stage founders addressing large untapped markets. The firm writes initial checks of US$500K to US$2M and works closely with companies to help them progress from early product-market fit toward sustainable scale and readiness for Series A/B rounds. It positions itself around three core pillars — discovering ambitious entrepreneurs, investing in daring founders, and supporting growth — while managing its own and its limited partners' capital with discipline, patience, and integrity, aiming for strong returns.
